Hi, guys. I just recently got my Galaxy S3 (my very first smartphone, and my first encounter with Android). It is a brilliant device, but today I discovered a small issue that, while not really problematic in any way, still bugs me, so I was hoping you could help me.
First I realized that my phone doesn't give me any sort of notification when I plug in my earphones. A simple Google search led me to this forum, where I read that I could solve the problem by going to Settings>Accessory>check the ''Show Audio Application'' box. However, when I go to settings, accessory, this box is nowhere to be found. All I have are the following options: Dock sound, Audio output mode, Desk home screen display, and Audio output (stereo or surround). So yeah, this kinda got me worried. I have no idea if some of my other options are missing as well. As I've said, it really isn't a big deal, and my earphones ARE functional, but I'd still like to hear from you guys - has this happened to anyone else, is there a way around it, etc.?
I should note that my Android version is 4.1.2 (this is Jelly Bean, I take it?), and it has not been rooted.
Btw, I also had problems with the music player (both the original and Winamp) suddenly pausing or even stopping for no apparent reason, and I solved it, or so it seems, by turning off the motions for pausing or stopping the player, either with your palm, or turning it over. Since I've done that, I haven't experienced any problems. However, is this only a temporary fix, or a permanent one?
Thank you very much in advance.
